WOW! What a terrific find this place turned out to be. During our recent trip to Las Vegas, we decided to stay at the Monte Carlo and low and behold this little gem of a coffee shop was right downstairs off the casino floor.
After a long trip in the day before, including a late night show it was time for a quick pick me up. We headed downstairs to Samablatte and decided to order a couple of drinks to help wake up a bit along with a couple of pastries for a light breakfast. The staff here is very friendly and the menu is as diverse as they come for these type of places. They offer everything from your standard drip coffees to blended drinks, teas, smoothies, pastries, sandwiches etc...
My wife went with the hot mocha and a scone while I opted for the hot white mocha and a apple turnover style pastry. The drinks were FANTASTIC and definitely hit the spot (although I wish they were a bit bigger or came in multiple sizes). My wife thought her scone was OK but the apple turnover was really good and filled with lots of apple. Normally we are not big connoisseurs of the hot drinks but these were really good. So much so that a return trip was made the next morning prior to our departure back home.
Trip two saw my wife get the same drink again but this time I went with the Penguin Hot Chocolate (White and Milk Chocolates). This could possible have been the greatest hot chocolate I have ever had if not the best in all mankind, a definite recommendation. The place has a great vibe to it, plenty of seating (both indoors and out) and is the perfect place to come down and hang out with a laptop and utilize the WiFi (only available on two floors of the Monte Carlo). We are already missing this place bunches and will definitely be back here again the next time we are in town. My only regret is not trying it the day we got in as I would have loved to have tried the blended drinks or the incredible smoothie that was also on the menu. If you love coffee then try this place out, it;s more than worth the trip.
